Human Family by Maya Angelou - Inspirational Poem | Read by Simerjeet Singh | Powerful Life Poetry

“Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time…” These words from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s "The Psalm of Life" give me not only goosebumps but also hope and strength to bounce back from setbacks. Enjoy our next poem from the Poetry That Inspires series. Regards, Simerjeet Singh What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,— act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.

Larry Harp's "Leaving The City of Regret" is a very inspirational poem that has helped many people who are struggling with regret. It is a call to action that inspires us to leave the city of regret and start over. The poem talks about how the city of regret creates dark memories, which in turn creates unhappiness. It says that when we are in the city of regret, it gives us an excuse to be unhappy and ungrateful for what we have today. With this verse, Simerjeet Singh encourages listeners not to let our past mistakes dictate our present and future happiness. Leave the city of regret and start over because anything is better than living in this dark place. It’s never too late to start over. Leaving the City of Regret by Larry Harp I had not really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in advance that no real good would come of it. I’m talking about my annual “Guilt Trip.” I got tickets to fly there on Wish I Had airlines. It was an extremely short flight. I got my baggage, which I could not check. I chose to carry it myself all the way. It was weighted down with a thousand memories of what might have been. No one greeted me as I entered the terminal to the Regret City International Airport. I say international because people from all over the world come to this dismal town. As I checked into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed that they would be hosting the year’s most important event, the Annual Pity Party. I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion. Many of the towns leading citizens would be there. First, there would be the Done family, you know, Should Have, Would Have and Could Have. Then came the I Had family. You probably know ol’ Wish and his clan. Of course, the Opportunities would be present, Missed and Lost. The biggest family would be the Yesterday’s. There are far too many of them to count, but each one would have a very sad story to share. Then Shattered Dreams would surely make and appearance. And It’s Their Fault would regale us with stories (excuses) about how things had failed in his life, and each story would be loudly applauded by Don’t Blame Me and I Couldn’t Help It. Well, to make a long story short, I went to this depressing party knowing that there would be no real benefit in doing so. And, as usual, I became very depressed. But as I thought about all of the stories of failures brought back from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and subsequent “pity party” could be canceled by ME! I started to truly realize that I did not have to be there. I didn’t have to be depressed. One thing kept going through my mind, I CAN’T CHANGE YESTERDAY, BUT I DO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE TODAY A WONDERFUL DAY. I can be happy, joyous, fulfilled, encouraged, as well as encouraging. Knowing this, I left the City of Regret immediately and left no forwarding address. Am I sorry for mistakes I’ve made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them. So, if you’re planning a trip back to the City of Regret, please cancel all your reservations now. Instead, take a trip to a place called, Starting Again. I liked it so much that I have now taken up permanent residence there. My neighbors, the I Forgive Myselfs and the New Starts are so very helpful. By the way, you don’t have to carry around heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders upon arrival. God bless you in finding this great town. If you can find it — it’s in your own heart — please look me up. I live on I Can Do It Street.

Simerjeet Singh interviews the Wondergirl of India Janhavi Panwar in The Beginners Mind Series to facilitate the growth journey of the audience. Janhavi Panwar is an embodiment of the fact that learning English is not solely the prerogative of the elite. Everyone can improve their English and communication skills if they are determined to excel. Janhavi is from village Shahrmalpur, tehsil Salakha, District Panipat, Haryana. She was a child prodigy and was nicknamed “India’s Wonder girl” at 11 because of her outstanding linguistic abilities. At the age of ten, she could speak ten different accents, including British, American, Australian, Scottish etc. She is currently 17 and pursuing a Master’s in English Literature in Delhi. The interaction, that people should not confine themselves to lesser goals. With an abundance of resources available on the internet, it is easier today to follow one’s dreams.

Her life story inspires people who want to improve their skills and be better versions of themselves. The conversation will help decode the mind of the linguistic genius, and the audience will get important pointers to learn new languages. One of the important takeaways is that one should not concentrate only on learning grammar rules to improve spoken English.

It is an immense borderless world, and people should use it to achieve excellence in life. They also recommend that there will be setbacks on the path to excellence, but we should remember to take them in our stride and continue to move forward. They bust the myth that learning can be done only at a young age and encourage people to pursue their passion with vigour irrespective of age. The biggest takeaway is that every individual is unique, and we should not try to judge people with the same orthodox yardsticks. The interaction with Janhavi Panwar will motivate people to unravel their hidden gifts and develop effective communication skills, just like she could owing to her passion and dedication.

This poem is a perfect motivational boost for those struggling during these harsh & challenging times. It teaches valuable lessons about never giving up and staying strong against all odds. Have a great weekend! Regards, TeamSJS & Simerjeet Singh It Couldn’t Be Done by Edgar Albert Guest Somebody said that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it! Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that; At least no one ever has done it;” But he took off his coat and he took off his hat And the first thing we knew he’d begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure, There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it.
